WVU Basketball Tickets

From the heady days of the 1950s and 60s, when legendary players "Hot" Rod Hundley and Jerry West led the team, up until the present, West Virginia University basketball has been an institution in the Mountain State. The appropriately named Mountaineers have made 25 appearances in the NCAA tournament since Hundley led them to their first one in 1955, and the program is showing no signs of slowing down. Catch the Mountaineers in action by purchasing your WVU basketball tickets today.

Jerry West is not only one of the greatest players in West Virginia history, he is one of the best to ever play the game. Known as "The Logo," because his likeness was used as a model for the NBA&apos;s signature image, West is a proud Mountain State native, and still makes his home there. His undying support for the program, even though it&apos;s been more than 45 years since he left the school, is just one reason that WVU basketball has been able to maintain marquee status despite playing in one of the smallest markets in the country.

Since West left, there have been a number of other stars who have passed through the halls of WVU Coliseum, where the Mountaineers make their home, including Rod Thorn, Devin Ebanks and West Virginia hero Kevin Pittsnogle. Throughout the years the Mountaineers have developed intense rivalries with the Pittsburgh Panthers, and in 2009, West Virginia upset their rivals in the quarterfinals round of the Big East tournament 74-60.

2010 saw the WVU basketball team advance to their first Final Four since 1959, with a 73-66 win over Kentucky. This year could belong to the WVU basketball team. Don&apos;t miss a moment of the action! Buy your WVU basketball tickets now!
